AUTHORS NOTES: This is a crossover between CI and Xfiles. Weird I know, but, the story just kinda popped in my head until it had to come out, so please bear with me. Any comments, good, bad or the unknown shade of grey in the middle would be appreciated, if you like you can send them to loshat_4@yahoo.com. The only thing I ask is to please be nice, no need to go ´round name calling and all. Oh and, keep in mind I´m not even from an english speaking country so any grammatical mistakes and such are ones I truly missed (because I check and re-check my work, I promise). Ok enough about me. Thanks for reading.

If it was possible, the dark room was getting darker. Scully blinked furiously against the nothingness, everything hurt, but especially her right knee. She was afraid to even touch it, she figured everything in there had to be broken. She breathed deep, trying to will the pain to go away. Katya had come up to her a few hours before, and despite the fact that she didn´t believe the girl, it had stopped hurting, at least for a while. Katya´s words echoed through her head, "A quick fix. Magic tylenol or something...should last for maybe four hours." If she was right, they´d already been there at least six. Eames had given up banging on the door a while ago, but Scully could still hear her breathing. It came in short gasps, she was hurt too, although not nearly as bad.
Before they had been put inside this room, they had been dragged for quite a while inside the car, blindfolded and handcuffed. Katya protested, even tried attacking their captors, but they had cooly pointed a gun at Eames and she had immediately calmed down and gotten in the car. After that they where brought to a very large property, the blindfold came off so they where able to see. Katya had explained that was where she had grown up, it was enourmous, she had never been sure how much of the land her parents owned. It was quite a bit, since it took them another half an hour of driving through dirt roads to reach a small house and a barn, where they where pushed out. Their handcuffes where taked off too.
Under any other circumstances the landscape would of seemed beautiful. Nothing but green grass and patches of trees here and there, all fenced in perfectly kept white picket fences. Horses roamed all over, and a few people worked around here and there, riding the horses, cleaning them, repairing the roof of the barn. It was all very picturesque. Scully had stopped to look around, and then she felt a sharp stab on the back, it was the barrel of her gun, she was being urged onward. They walked for what seemed like an eternity, but Katya explained it must have been no more than forty mintues, they where taking the only road up to her grandmother´s house.
Their captors ocassionally spoke to Katya, making fun of her and taunting her. The worst one was a boy named Tom, he seemed no older than 24. He liked to come up close to Katya and ask her about Sean. She even turned on him once but Scully was hit on the shoulder with her gun and Katya backed off. She took to ignoring Tom and talking to Eames and Scully. She talked nonstop all the way to the house, about her childhood, how she´d learned to ride and how she´d worked for a woman with horses for three years after she´d left with Sean. It made the situation a little more bearable actually.
When they reached the house, Scully noticed there where about fifteen people waiting on the porch. It was a very small house, clearly only one person lived in it, there where four windows, one looked into the kitchen, another to a small room that seemed designed to hold junk, and the other two had curtains over them. Katya explained it was the bedroom. She apparently wanted to say more when a tall man with blond hair and grey eyes came up to Katya. He took her arm and pulled her away. Scully and Eames found themselves with their guns pointed at their heads. Katya tried to get free, but she couldn´t.
The man threw her at the door, "Heal." He told her. She turned and faced him, she obviously was not going to, "Heal!" the man repeated. He did not look very pleased, Scully heard her gun being cocked, "It´s the only thing you´re good for girl. The only thing you can do! Everything else is worthless. Heal!"
Katya turned to the door and touched it softly, "She´s dying. She´s lived long enough. I won´t."
The man laughed, he walked up to Scully and pushed the gun away from her head. He pushed her forward, towards a man holding a broom, "Heal!" He repeated, when Katya didn´t move, Scully felt the broomstick connect with her right knee. She heard and felt something shatter inside, she fell to the floor. Eames was brought next to her. Katya stared at the man, hate pouring out of every pore, she spit in his direction then turned and went inside.
A few minutes later she came back out. She looked sick, her skin had taken a greyish tone and she was sweating. She couldn´t breath properly but she didn´t stop and she shoved aside anyone who tried to help. She went right up to the man and pushed him aside. She dropped down on her knees and faced Scully. It took her a few minutes but she suddenly began to look better, even the sweat dried. She closed her eyes and when she opened them, she was breathing normally. She looked down at Scully´s knee, it was obviously broken in more than one place. She put her hands on it and closed her eyes.
Scully, who´d been in nearly unbearable pain, suddenly began to feel warm, her entire leg went numb, she thought she began to feel something else when the man stooped down and whispered in Katya´s ear, "You would heal a stranger but not your own blood." She didn´t answer, but opened her eyes and concentrated even harder. The man started to get up, but before he did he whispered something into her ear. Her eyes widended, and she stopped.
Scully didn´t hear what the man had whispered in her ear, but it was probably another threat. Katya looked Scully in her eyes, "Sorry.",she mouthed. She turned and stood, facing the man. He laughed, and almost at the same moment, Eames was struck. Not on the back of the knee, but on the left hand side. She fell to the ground, Scully looked up at the man with the broomstick, and he threatened to hit her again. She looked down. Eames tried to get up, but couldn´t. Katya didn´t even think about it, she threw herself on the man with the broomstick. She knocked him down and overpowered him, she took the broom away from him and broke it in too, then she jumped on him and started punching him. It took five people to get her away from him. They threw Katya down next to Eames and Scully, someone kicked her in the stomach. Scully tried to object but before she could they where all picked up and dragged away.
It wasn´t far where they took them. Scully was half carried, half dragged to a round structure which stood only about one meter of the ground. Scully noticed that what actually stood out where windows, a door on the floor was opened and they where taken downstairs. At the end of the stairs, there was another door, it was opened and they where all pushed inside. The door was closed and the room went almost completely dark. The only light came through the dirty windows at the top of the room, which stood about ten meters high. Scully had to sit down, she couldn´t stand. Eames started knocking on the door furiously, having recovered from being hit, but still having difficulty breathing. Katya paced the room, being careful not to trip over Scully, or disturb Eames. Katya sighed loudly after a while, she was getting exasperated. There was no room for any other thought, she had to leave, she had to get to Sean, and Kaia.
--
It took a while to calm everyone down after the girl jumped Goren. Mulder had started babbling excitedly, while Scully argued against every point he made. Eames simply wanted that girl arrested, at least for attacking a detective, and Goren was truly at a loss for words. He sat at his desk, staring into nothingness, there had to be a perfectly logical and normal explanation for what had happened, but his mind was unusually empty. In fact the only one with theories was Agent Mulder.
Mulder couldn´t think fast enough for all the possibilities. This girl, whatever she was...it was extraordinary. Mulder had several theories, but now that he had actually seen it, he realized it had to be something a lot more complicated. He´d figured the girl had to be some sort of phsycic, or that she had some sort of ability to direct a person´s energy but now...Mulder dismissed Scully´s arguing. He really needed to think this through and get everything in order. He needed to track down the girl´s family, he needed to talk to Sean Hoven´s grandparents. He needed answers. Scully was in the middle of yet another objection when he suddenly got up and headed for the door.
"Mulder!" he stopped. He knew better than to ignore that tone of voice. He turned, "Where are you going?"
"Back to the hospital. I need to talk to Sean Hoven´s grandparents, I think they know more than they´re letting on." He stood there, expecting Scully to get up and follow him. She didn´t. Instead, Det. Eames spoke.
"Wait! If Mr. and Mrs. Hovens know something then we should be there too. I still fail to see a crime other than a detective being jumped, and that hardly falls into FBI jurisdiction."
"Well we can´t all go. Someone needs to stay here and try to talk to the girl again." Interjected Scully.
"I´m done talking to that girl. Feel free to stay if you like." Eames said, getting her jacket. Goren was still silent and staring into space.
"How will you explain what happened in that interrogation room? You don´t believe the girl is some sort of phsycic, what will you do?" Mulder didn´t mean for it to sound as if Det. Eames knew nothing, but she didn´t believe and Mulder knew he was right. Eames simply ignored him, she kept on walking, Goren stood to follow. Scully threw Mulder a look and ran after them.
They went down the stairs so Scully caught up with Eames in the lobby. She called to her, she stopped and turned around, as did Goren. Scully waited until she was sure Mulder hadn´t followed, "Look, I know Mulder´s theories aren´t very believable, but I do think he has a point." She was quick to continue before Eames could say something back, "I think one of us should go to the hospital and the other stay here. I´m a medical doctor and I´d like to try to get a proper look at Sean Hoven´s medical records."
Goren turned to Eames, it took them a second to decide who would go where. Finally, Goren and Scully took off to the hospital while Eames headed back upstairs. When she got back she found Agent Mulder already talking to Carver, it did not look like a particularly friendly conversation. As she got closer, she quickly learned why.
"Supposed phsycic abilities is not propable cause and in any case, we don´t need a warrant, as soon as she attacked Det. Goren we have enough for an arrest. A proper investigation will begin and then..."
Mulder interrupted Carver before he had time to make his point, something which Carver did not appreciate,"I don´t think you should do anything to her. I don´t think she committed any crime other than the mistake of showing her nature."
"That was a mistake allright, it´s gonna land her in jail." Said Eames, Mulder looked confused, but it was only for a second. He turned back to Carver and continued.
"Look, I think she was telling the truth about one thing, she didn´t do anything to Sean. Nothing wrong anyway. I just need a warrant, I need to find out about her and I also think the key to that is in Sean Hovens."
"How will getting a warrant for a girl with no address and no records of any kind help prove...whatever it is you want to prove?" Carver was starting to loose his patience.
"Look, I think Det. Goren was right about one thing, she must be married to Sean Hovens. When I talked to his granparents down at the hospital, they told me Sean lives with them, this means so does Katya. If you get a warrant to search her home, you also search Sean´s, it might even be enough to get us Sean´s medical records."
Carver sighed. He didn´t agree with this. It was too much of a long shot and he wasn´t even sure if it was a good enough reason to even think about a warrant. He looked over at Eames, expecting to get some support. Instead he found Eames, thinking over what Agent Mulder had just said. In the end, they convinced him to at least try to get a warrant. Eames had seen some of the point of Agent Mulder, Carver just didn´t understand it, Goren was bad enough, he didn´t need this guy too.
--
Katya was thrown into a cell and left there alone. She found it a little curious that there where no other people there, but she was also grateful, it gave her more freedom to think about what she was going to do now. She couldn´t believe what she´d just done, she touched her lip, it hurt. She knew there was nothing there anymore but it still hurt, she wished she knew why that happened. She sat down on the floor and stared up at the ceiling.
She figured they would be charging her with something soon enough. That meant she had to get one phone call. That was better than nothing, she thought. Still she was worried, what if these people started poking around in her past, it wouldn´t be long before they found out about her and her "parents". She was thinking about this when suddenly something crept inside her mind and made her sit up straight, what if they not only found her parents, but contacted them as well. She couldn´t believe she´d been so stupid! She knew she should of jumped the FBI guy, at least he would of believed her, then she wouldn´t be facing an arrest. She started pacing the cell, what if Sean never woke up? What if her parents came and got her, she pushed that thought aside. She would rather spend the rest of her life in jail instead of going back there.
Katya suddenly realized she had only one chance of getting out of this whole mess. She had to show them, had to prove to them what she was and why she was hiding. She knew they´d start to find some things once they spoke to Sean´s grandparents, that was a start. They´d probably talk to her again, then she could thell them everything. The problem was that they wouldn´t believe Katya, no one ever had. She dropped back to the floor and hit the back of her head against the wall and she realized it was hopeless. No one in their right minds would believe her, she knew she certainly wouldn´t.
"Maybe this wasn´t such a good idea after all." She said. She looked out to the rest of the room. It wasn´t very big, beyond the bars there stood a few computers. All of them where off, to the right of the computers was the door leading outside, where no doubt Det. Eames was plotting her demise. She almost shuddered when she thought about it, they might of both been about the same size, but Katya knew that Eames could probably do a lot more harm than it seemed. She thought about this for a minute, she´d gotten a feeling about them, all four of them. It was so strange, so much pain, so many things gone wrong in their lives, and yet it had all worked out for the better she supposed. She smiled at that, maybe one day she´d look back on all of this and realize that all of her misfortunes had in the end been for something. She kept that thought in her head, and was still smiling when Agent Mulder came in, followed by Det. Eames.
"It doesn´t seem the most appropiate time to be smiling." Said Eames. Katya looked up, she hadn´t heard them coming. She dropped the smile and stood, she didn´t move forward, she didn´t want to upset the woman more than she was already. They stood in silence for a few seconds until Agent Mulder cleared his throat. Katya tore her gaze away from Eames and looked at him, it was the first time she heard him speak.
"Look Katya where here to try and help you." He pulled up a chair and sat down, "We know why you did what you did to Det. Goren. You were trying to prove something to us, what you can do. We know you never meant to harm him."
Eames barely stiffled a laugh. She rolled her eyes and started pacing the room. Katya came close to the bars, she sat on the edge of the bed closest to them. Mulder waited, but neither of the women spoke so he continued, "Look, you´re not technically under arrest here, yet. My partner and Det. Goren have gone to talk to Sean Hoven´s grandparents, it would really help if you could clear some things up, like for example the accident that landed Sean in the hospital."
"The accident didn´t land him anywhere, it would of seen him end up in the morgue though." Katya stared at her shoes, she didn´t want to look into their faces when they didn´t believe her, when she lost her last chance to be rid of the mess she´d gotten herself into. "It was late...we were coming back from dinner. It was a big night, doesn´t matter why, but, when we were heading back to the house...the road up there, it´s a little road it doesn´t even have any lights or anything. Anyway...I guess, there was something in the road coming out of a curve. Sean´s grandfather was driving...he slammed on the breaks and swirved, hit a tree..." She stopped as the memories came flooding back. It had been so dark, she could barely see. She´d been slammed against the dashboard, she remembered bleeding from a cut on her forhead, getting out of the car, dragging Sean to the side of the road, walking back to find a phone because none of their cellphones where working. She remembered Kaia...She straightened up, she had to tell them the whole truth, or as close to it as she was willing to risk.
She finished telling them about the accident, or parts of it anyway. When she was done she stayed quiet. After a few minutes of silence she took the hint and continued. Eames was still pacing the room, although paying very close attention to her, and Agent Mulder was still sitting down, looking straight at her, he seemed to believe everything she was saying. She took a deep breath and let it out slowly, "After I got to a phone I called an ambulance. I knew I had no time to go back to the car before help got there so I waited until I saw them pass and then I went to the closest hospital. I got there a little after Sean and his grandparents had, they still had their wallets with them but Sean had forgotten his. I...I...asked that his records be kept as secret as possible...I spoke to his grandfather early the next morning and we decided to put him in private care. I wasn´t counting on an actual cop having to look over the accident, but when I found a message at the house I panicked...I...didn´t know what to do. Then I saw it on the news and I knew I had to come in and talk to you...I mean, I just thought maybe you´d drop it after I explained everything. I admit my story sucked but I figured you looked fairly decent so I gave it a shot. I was kinda hoping you´d see nothing to it and leave it at that."
Katya leaned back on the bed and rubbed her eyes. When she opened them again, Eames had stopped pacing and was standing behind Mulder, arms crossed, her expression still one of disbelief. She was about to ask Katya why she had run from Agent Scully if she was so innocent when Agent Mulder suddenly blurted out, "Where was Sean sitting in the car?"
Katya looked back down at her shoes and bit her lower lip, "Why?"
"Well, you said he was thrown out the windshield, but you said you where in the passenger side and Sean´s grandfather was driving. Where was he sitting?"
"In the middle seat in the back. That´s why he was thrown out, he wasn´t wearing a seatbelt either," her voice dropped to barely above a whisper, "he always sat in the middle."
Mulder was confused, and so was Eames. Why would Sean be sitting in the middle if there where only four people in the car? He should have been sitting behind the passenger or driver. Mulder was about to ask, but this time Eames beat him to it, "Why was he sitting in the middle?"
Katya didn´t look up, and she didn´t answer either. Eames walked closer to her and dropped her arms to the sides, "Was he sitting there because there was a fifth person in the car?"
Katya still didn´t answer, she simply didn´t react. Both Eames and Mulder knew they had her. Someone else was in that car, someone who had never made it to the hospital, and someone everyone involved had neglected to mention. Neither Mulder nor Eames where able to continue their questions. A voice came from the door before they could.

The man laughed, he walked up to Scully and pushed the gun away from her head. He pushed her forward, towards a man holding a broom, "Heal!" He repeated, when Katya didn´t move, Scully felt the broomstick connect with her right knee. She heard and felt something shatter inside, she fell to the floor. Eames was brought next to her.

If you get a warrant to search her home, you also search Sean´s, it might even be enough to get us Sean´s medical records."
Carver sighed. He didn´t agree with this. It was too much of a long shot and he wasn´t even sure if it was a good enough reason to even think about a warrant. He looked over at Eames, expecting to get some support. Instead he found Eames, thinking over what Agent Mulder had just said. In the end, they convinced him to at least try to get a warrant. Eames had seen some of the point of Agent Mulder, Carver just didn´t understand it, Goren was bad enough, he didn´t need this guy too.

She found it a little curious that there where no other people there, but she was also grateful, it gave her more freedom to think about what she was going to do now. She couldn´t believe what she´d just done, she touched her lip, it hurt. She knew there was nothing there anymore but it still hurt, she wished she knew why that happened. She sat down on the floor and stared up at the ceiling.
She figured they would be charging her with something soon enough. That meant she had to get one phone call. That was better than nothing, she thought. Still she was worried, what if these people started poking around in her past, it wouldn´t be long before they found out about her and her "parents". She was thinking about this when suddenly something crept inside her mind and made her sit up straight, what if they not only found her parents, but contacted them as well. She couldn´t believe she´d been so stupid! She knew she should of jumped the FBI guy, at least he would of believed her, then she wouldn´t be facing an arrest. She started pacing the cell, what if Sean never woke up? What if her parents came and got her, she pushed that thought aside. She would rather spend the rest of her life in jail instead of going back there.
Katya suddenly realized she had only one chance of getting out of this whole mess. She had to show them, had to prove to them what she was and why she was hiding. She knew they´d start to find some things once they spoke to Sean´s grandparents, that was a start. They´d probably talk to her again, then she could thell them everything. The problem was that they wouldn´t believe Katya, no one ever had. She dropped back to the floor and hit the back of her head against the wall and she realized it was hopeless. No one in their right minds would believe her, she knew she certainly wouldn´t.
"Maybe this wasn´t such a good idea after all." She said. She looked out to the rest of the room. It wasn´t very big, beyond the bars there stood a few computers. All of them where off, to the right of the computers was the door leading outside, where no doubt Det. Eames was plotting her demise. She almost shuddered when she thought about it, they might of both been about the same size, but Katya knew that Eames could probably do a lot more harm than it seemed. She thought about this for a minute, she´d gotten a feeling about them, all four of them. It was so strange, so much pain, so many things gone wrong in their lives, and yet it had all worked out for the better she supposed. She smiled at that, maybe one day she´d look back on all of this and realize that all of her misfortunes had in the end been for something. She kept that thought in her head, and was still smiling when Agent Mulder came in, followed by Det. Eames.
"It doesn´t seem the most appropiate time to be smiling." Said Eames. Katya looked up, she hadn´t heard them coming. She dropped the smile and stood, she didn´t move forward, she didn´t want to upset the woman more than she was already. They stood in silence for a few seconds until Agent Mulder cleared his throat. Katya tore her gaze away from Eames and looked at him, it was the first time she heard him speak.
"Look Katya where here to try and help you." He pulled up a chair and sat down, "We know why you did what you did to Det. Goren. You were trying to prove something to us, what you can do. We know you never meant to harm him."
Eames barely stiffled a laugh. She rolled her eyes and started pacing the room. Katya came close to the bars, she sat on the edge of the bed closest to them. Mulder waited, but neither of the women spoke so he continued, "Look, you´re not technically under arrest here, yet. My partner and Det. Goren have gone to talk to Sean Hoven´s grandparents, it would really help if you could clear some things up, like for example the accident that landed Sean in the hospital."
"The accident didn´t land him anywhere, it would of seen him end up in the morgue though." Katya stared at her shoes, she didn´t want to look into their faces when they didn´t believe her, when she lost her last chance to be rid of the mess she´d gotten herself into. "It was late...we were coming back from dinner. It was a big night, doesn´t matter why, but, when we were heading back to the house...the road up there, it´s a little road it doesn´t even have any lights or anything. Anyway...I guess, there was something in the road coming out of a curve. Sean´s grandfather was driving...he slammed on the breaks and swirved, hit a tree..." She stopped as the memories came flooding back. It had been so dark, she could barely see. She´d been slammed against the dashboard, she remembered bleeding from a cut on her forhead, getting out of the car, dragging Sean to the side of the road, walking back to find a phone because none of their cellphones where working. She remembered Kaia...She straightened up, she had to tell them the whole truth, or as close to it as she was willing to risk.
She finished telling them about the accident, or parts of it anyway. When she was done she stayed quiet. After a few minutes of silence she took the hint and continued. Eames was still pacing the room, although paying very close attention to her, and Agent Mulder was still sitting down, looking straight at her, he seemed to believe everything she was saying. She took a deep breath and let it out slowly, "After I got to a phone I called an ambulance. I knew I had no time to go back to the car before help got there so I waited until I saw them pass and then I went to the closest hospital. I got there a little after Sean and his grandparents had, they still had their wallets with them but Sean had forgotten his. I...I...asked that his records be kept as secret as possible...I spoke to his grandfather early the next morning and we decided to put him in private care. I wasn´t counting on an actual cop having to look over the accident, but when I found a message at the house I panicked...I...didn´t know what to do. Then I saw it on the news and I knew I had to come in and talk to you...I mean, I just thought maybe you´d drop it after I explained everything. I admit my story sucked but I figured you looked fairly decent so I gave it a shot. I was kinda hoping you´d see nothing to it and leave it at that."
Katya leaned back on the bed and rubbed her eyes. When she opened them again, Eames had stopped pacing and was standing behind Mulder, arms crossed, her expression still one of disbelief. She was about to ask Katya why she had run from Agent Scully if she was so innocent when Agent Mulder suddenly blurted out, "Where was Sean sitting in the car?"
Katya looked back down at her shoes and bit her lower lip, "Why?"
"Well, you said he was thrown out the windshield, but you said you where in the passenger side and Sean´s grandfather was driving. Where was he sitting?"
"In the middle seat in the back. That´s why he was thrown out, he wasn´t wearing a seatbelt either," her voice dropped to barely above a whisper, "he always sat in the middle."
Mulder was confused, and so was Eames. Why would Sean be sitting in the middle if there where only four people in the car? He should have been sitting behind the passenger or driver. Mulder was about to ask, but this time Eames beat him to it, "Why was he sitting in the middle?"
Katya didn´t look up, and she didn´t answer either. Eames walked closer to her and dropped her arms to the sides, "Was he sitting there because there was a fifth person in the car?"
Katya still didn´t answer, she simply didn´t react. Both Eames and Mulder knew they had her. Someone else was in that car, someone who had never made it to the hospital, and someone everyone involved had neglected to mention. Neither Mulder nor Eames where able to continue their questions. A voice came from the door before they could.
